I Can't Skate
I've always wanted to be in a band
To jump around on stage
Like a puppy in a ceiling fan
To surf on the crowd
With the music playing loud
Don't got nothing else to do
I think I'll be a "rude boy"
One, two, three, four
Give us a crowd and a couple of songs
And I can be a rockstar
Played some shows around town
Cut a brand new CD
And we can be celebrities
But what's the point of it all
Just a diversion from life
Or is there a reason
It's not money or fame
Or a perfect lifestyle
We're just doing what He wants us to do
I bought some new gel for my hair
So I can look cool
On the stage in front of everyone
Chains around my neck
And I figure what the heck
All the girls will love me
Cause they'll think that I'm a rockstar
Give us black and white
Checkered on everything
Cause we're in a ska band
We could travel the world
We could be on TV
If people just liked us
But who cares what the say
Their words don't mean a thing
Cause we'll never be celebrities
It's not money or fame
Or a perfect lifestyle
We're just doing what He wants us to do
Sure we're just a bunch of slobs
That never wanna have real jobs
But we have nothing anyway
Unless God provides
And talents aren't of our accord
But blessings from our Holy Lord
And we cannot take credit for
The way He's blessed our lives
Give us a crowd and a couple of songs
And I can be a rockstar
Played some shows around town
Cut a brand new CD
And we can be celebrities
But what's the point of it all
Just a diversion from life
Or is there a reason
It's not money or fame
Or a perfect lifestyle
We're just doing what He wants us to do
We're just doing what He wants us to do
We're just doing what He wants us to do
To jump around on stage
Like a puppy in a ceiling fan
To surf on the crowd
With the music playing loud
Don't got nothing else to do
I think I'll be a "rude boy"
One, two, three, four
Give us a crowd and a couple of songs
And I can be a rockstar
Played some shows around town
Cut a brand new CD
And we can be celebrities
But what's the point of it all
Just a diversion from life
Or is there a reason
It's not money or fame
Or a perfect lifestyle
We're just doing what He wants us to do

We're just doing what He wants us to do
We're just doing what He wants us to do
We're just doing what He wants us to do
